Notes:

Giant footsteps plow a path through miles of Panamanian forests
and beaches. Ships off the U.S. coasts capsize, dragged into an
inexplicably roiling sea where they are instantly demolished.
The destruction is heading toward a small, densely populated island
called Manhattan.

Action Thriller - Godzilla is a lavish update of the popular Japanese monster movies. Its blend of mayhem and special effects has a built-in audience of children, teens, and young adults, especially males; older viewers looking for plot and character should look elsewhere.

PROFANITY: Occasional use of mild profanitySEX/NUDITY: NoneVIOLENCE: Lots of buildings and other objects destroyed; nongraphic deathsDRUGS/ALCOHOL: One glimpse of alcohol consumptionACTION: Lots of destruction, explosions, and chases.COMEDY: A few isolated wisecracks.

Reviewing a much-ballyhooed "event" movie like Godzilla is a pointless
task--audiences will flock to theatres in droves no matter what--but anyone willing to listen should be
forewarned that this lavish take on the classic Japanese monster movies is
a technically superb but flavorless piece of sci-fi hackwork.

A devastating, blinding flash of white light fills the Eastern
sky. Thousands of miles away, the Pacific Ocean churns, engulfing
a freighter with wicked speed. Ships off both U.S. coasts capsize
and are dragged into an inexplicably roiling sea, where they are
instantly demolished.

On another part of the globe, giant footprints plow an ominous
path through miles of Panamanian forests, Tahitian villages and
Jamaican beaches.

What is the source of all this mysterious, far-flung mayhem?
An enormous beast is on a terrifying trek to the densely populated
island of Manhattan, leaving a trail of ruin and panic in its
awful wake and creating a ripple effect of profound and jaw-dropping
destruction.

Despite their often conflicting agendas and motives, a scientist,
a TV reporter, a cameraman, and an enigmatic French insurance
investigator, as well as the U.S. military, must join forces in
an odd and often uneasy alliance to unravel the mystery behind
this creature and prevent it from reducing the world's greatest
metropolis to a pile of rubble before it is too late.
